| Description | 1,6-Dibenzylglycoluril is not accessible via classical condensation reaction between substituted urea and glyoxal. In this paper 1,6-dibenzylglycoluril was successfully prepared by alkylation of 1,6-diacetylglycoluril with benzylbromide for the first time. 1,6-Dibenzylglycoluril reacted with formaldehyde to give tetrabenzylglycoluril dimer. Deprotection of this dimer and the previously reported o-xylyleneglycoluril dimer was achieved by dissolving metal reduction, whereas propyleneglycoluril dimer was deprotected by action of potassium persulfate. |
